401 | John 1:1 and John 1:14; Is Jesus God? | 2 Cor 13:11 | BradK | 225266 | ||
Hello Martin, As a long-term memeber of the Forum, I'm well aware of the Terms of Use, etc :-) Was there something in my answer you found mis-directed? In my response to julcol, I wasn't implying or suggesting that the Nicene Creed is our authority or is in any way equal to scripture! It isn't! To the contrary. My reference to the Council of Nicea was simply to indicate the (original) source of the JW's error- Arianism! Nothing in my response was to direct her anywhere but scripture! I'm not sure why your reply was so cautionary? Are you by chance a member of the Watchtower Organization? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

402 | Did Dr Frank Logsdon work on the NASB? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 225257 | ||
Hello kwadecook, The Lockman Foundation's Official Response to KJVO claims about Frank Logsdon Published with permission from The Lockman Foundation "The Board of Directors of The Lockman Foundation launched the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE translation work in the late 1950's following the completion of the AMPLIFIED NEW TESTAMENT. Dr. S. Franklin Logsdon was acquainted with Dewey Lockman, president of The Lockman Foundation, prior to Mr. Lockman's death in 1974. Mr. Logsdon was never a member of the Board of Directors, nor was he an employee of The Lockman Foundation. Mr. Logsdon had no authority to hire employees or translators for the Foundation, to set policy, to vote, to hold office, to incur expenses, etc. He cannot be considered "co-founder" of the NASB, nor part of The Lockman Foundation, nor part of the NASB translation team, nor did he write the forward of the NASB. According to our records, he was present at board meetings on two occasions -- once to hear a travel report; and once to deliver an "inspirational thought." Mr. Logsdon last wrote to Mr. Lockman in fall of 1973 that he was moving to Florida. Mr. Lockman replied that he was surprised and saddened by his decision to leave the area. Mr. Lockman passed away in January of 1974, and no further correspondence was exchanged between Frank Logsdon and The Lockman Foundation. He resided in Florida until his passing some years ago. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8 (NASB)" The Lockman Foundation I hope this helps, BradK |

403 | John 1:1 and John 1:14; Is Jesus God? | John 1:1 | BradK | 225245 | ||
Hello Julie, Welcome to the Forum! Yes, the Jehovah's Witness deny the Trinity and the Diety of Christ- among other things. Their error is founded in Arianism, which goes back to the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. Jesus Christ is God incarnate. Notice these verses in John: John 4:25 "The woman *said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us." John 4:26 Jesus *said to her, "I who speak to you am He." "Question: "Is Jesus God? Did Jesus ever claim to be God?" Answer: Jesus is never recorded in the Bible as saying the precise words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason. “… you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming—deity. Notice that Jesus does not deny His claim to be God. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), He was saying that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!” The response of the Jews who heard this statement was to take up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the Mosaic Law commanded them to do (Leviticus 24:15). John reiterates the concept of Jesus’ deity: “the Word was God” and “the Word became flesh” (John 1:1, 14). These verses clearly indicate that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, “Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.” Who bought the church—the church of God—with His own blood? Jesus Christ. Acts 20:28 declares that God purchased His church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God! Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages us to wait for the coming of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ (see also 2 Peter 1:1). In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, “But about the Son He says, ’Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.’” The Father refers to Jesus as “O God” indicating that Jesus is indeed God. In Revelation, an angel instructed the apostle John to only worship God (Revelation 19:10). Several times in Scripture Jesus receives worship (Matthew 2:11, 14:33, 28:9, 17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38). He never rebukes people for worshiping Him. If Jesus were not God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel in Revelation did. There are many other verses and passages of Scripture that argue for Jesus’ deity. The most important reason that Jesus has to be God is that if He is not God, His death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). A created being, which Jesus would be if He were not God, could not pay the infinite penalty required for sin against an infinite God. Only God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21), die, and be resurrected, proving His victory over sin and death." [gotquestions.org] Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Alegrio: You've asked 18 questions to this point - all relating to the text of scripture. I think it's time to put your cards on the table. Are you sincerely seeking answers or is this merely a ploy to debate inerrancy? Stated differently: What's your purpose? BradK |

406 | ... | John 5:45 | BradK | 225221 | ||
Hello Alegrio, C.H. Spurgeon in his Puritan Catechism states: Q. What is the work of creation? A. The work of creation is God's making all things (Gen. 1:1) of nothing, by the Word of his power (Heb. 11:3), in six normal consecutive days (Exod. 20:11), and all very good (Gen. 1:31). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q. How did God create man? A. God created man, male and female, after his own image (Gen. 1:27), in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness (Col 3:10; Eph. 4:24) with dominion over the creatures (Gen. 1:28). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q. What special act of providence did God exercise toward man in the state wherein he was created? A. When God had created man, he entered into a covenant of life with him, upon condition of perfect obedience; (Gal. 3:12) forbidding him to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, upon pain of death. (Gen. 2:17) May this help you in your understanding. BradK |

407 | who will Judge,Father?Son?Servant? | John 8:50 | BradK | 225216 | ||
Hello Alegrio, The Gospel of Judas isn't really germane as it's not canonical! Essentially, the Gospel of Mark portrays Jesus as Servant! (cf Jer 42:1) Can a Son of God become a Servant? Yes, the Son of God was! In Matt. 20:28 we read, "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." (NASB) Matthew presents Jesus as Israel's promised messianic King (1:23); Mark presents Christ as servant ; Luke presents the humanity and compassion of Christ; John presents the strongest case in scripture for the Diety of the incarnate Son of God (6:69). John 5:22 declares, "For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son," Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

411 | did i choose my mom? | Rom 9:11 | BradK | 225187 | ||
Hello legs, I don't know how I could make my answer any clearer! How can we possibly have any ability to "choose to be born to the mother we have"??? We don't choose anything in this sense. As Eph 1:5 states, " He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,"(NASB). So, it is God Who predestines us and it is according to the kind intention of His will, not ours! Nothing in scripture says otherwise. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

412 | Is Your Conversion Genuine? | Job 13:23 | BradK | 225153 | ||
Warren: What of faith! Rom 4:3 tells us, "For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." Getting baptized is a work. It has no salvific merit whatsoever nor anything to do with "the right reason". I am saved because of (faith in) the completed work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross! (1 Cor. 1:30) Are you Church of Christ? Rom 11:6 says, "But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace." (NASB) Please provide scriptural proof and/or basis for your statements! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

413 | why do you disagree | Acts 7:59 | BradK | 225152 | ||
Hello Warren, There is an undercurrent in your posts- from the verses you quoted- that would seems to indicate you believe salvation to be more than simply "by grace through faith" (Eph. 2:8). Most who use Acts to support the plan of (criteria for) salvation typically emphasize water baptism as a requisite. Yet, Paul clearly outlines the Gospel in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 1 Cor 15:1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 1 Cor 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 1 Cor 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1 Cor 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (NASB) My question is this: If baptism is a requirement for our salvation (the "Acts" formula), then why does Paul neglect to include it? Did he forget to mention it? How do we reconcile this? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Warren, You stated, " once u become a christian u stay a christian but that does not mean you are going to heaven"??? This sounds a bit like an oxymoron! How is this so? Can you support this from scripture? Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

416 | Heaven, seconds after death? | Acts 7:59 | BradK | 225123 | ||
Hello Warren, Welcome to the Forum. When you mentioned that "not everyone is going to Heaven only those who do will of the father who is in heaven", how do you define this? Is salvation by grace through faith? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

417 | One soul,.. Many Past Lives ???? | Heb 9:27 | BradK | 225086 | ||
Hello legs..., I'm afraid scripture does not teach anything remotely having to do with either "regressive hypnosis" or re-incarnation! What scripture does teach is this: "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment," (NASB) There is a disease we all have called sin. It affects each and every one of us. The only cure is found in the Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 6:23 tells us, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Further, we're also told in Rom. 10:9, "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;" Have you trusted in the Lord as your Savior? In Him are hidden all the teasures of wisdom and knowledge. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

419 | Lying justified? | Josh 2:5 | BradK | 225075 | ||
Hello MJH, Am I understanding your words correctly, "Rahab was considered righteous because she lied." ? This would amount to gross speculation! Scripture says in Heb. 11:31, "By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace." It is her faith that justified her, not her lie! Her lie is nowhere even mentioned! Nothing from scripture could support such a notion! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

420 | Justification By Faith Alone | Gal 2:16 | BradK | 225055 | ||
Justification Is by Faith, Not Works. "...nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified." (Gal. 2:16) Gal 3:11 "Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." Gal 3:21 "Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. Gal 3:22 "But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe." BradK |
